Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Everyone stay safe.
send - thx. Much needed.
Less smoke here today and cooler which is good.
And, Cwillie, for your Nephew's safety, and all the lives he will be saving.
Freqflyer, yes I remember the rule about wearing bathing caps! And when it was so hot driving cross country, we'd stop where motel had a pool so our kids could swim. If not too hot, we'd pitch our tent at a KOA! That's how we saw some Nat'l Parks, and visited relatives.
I use to love swimming as kid and into my teens. Whenever my parents were dragging me all over the U.S. to go to museums, the motel had to have a swimming pool !!
Remember back when we had to wear a swimming cap?
Thanks for your input. Both my parents passed by age 65 and 66, so I have already aged past their legacy.
When I wrote below, I just knew that I would not want to live much beyond 80, but you can ask me then.
So, maybe a fun cooking class would help me, because my Sunday was worth the living as dH and I went to the store, made fudge (he is an irreplaceable sous chef),
and now, something for dinner.
When in a funk, leave the house by any means! The eating is extra!
You have been through a lot. But summer is on it's way, dig out that swimsuit, because swimming can help you sleep. This advice is good enough for those
youngsters under age 65 too!
I want to enjoy life now, as I am starting to sleep less. It is like all the lack of sleep is catching up in the last 2 months!
How will I know if it is my last decade that I am enjoying? 😉 Dad died in his 70's, as did his mother. My mother and her sisters lived till 95. I am 72. Tune in later.
I am always happy for those who have opportunities such as seeing a play, going to a concert or event. Just looking forward to something different than the heavy responsibilities of the last several years.
Some people just know how to live.
Planning ahead is a challenge with some chronic illnesses, such as fibromyalgia, and beginnings of limited mobility.
Read of one retiree who lived on a cruise ship. All her needs met as if she was in assisted living.
Anyone really enjoying their last decade of life?
Let me know please. There is only so much a self-help library can teach you.
mom loved his old man sketch
My Dad and I would just laugh and laugh~
Two people my mom really loved within days of each other. Sad!
These things seem to always happen in threes. I hope not............
Oh he was so funny, I remember him from the Carol Burnett Show. Great comic timing :)
If not for the good people on here, I would not have known about Doris Day passing.
Online:
"Day died on May 13, 2019, after suffering from pneumonia. She was 97 years old. Her death was announced by her charity, the Doris Day Animal Foundation".
Her signature song was Que Serah, Serah, whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see, Que Serah,Serah.
My Mom had sung that song to me. She was of that same generation, but passed many years ago.
I've been in a funk for the last few days so missed the news.
